I don’t think there should be any doubt that Trevor Hoffman should be in the Hall of Fame. Now that he’s made it, I’m ecstatic. I will not rehash his stellar numbers, or the “firsts” that he accomplished, or recount the stories of how he was a great teammate. There are several places you can go […]
Trevor Hoffman was really great at baseball. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. It’s good to see that the voters got it right, and that Trevor Hoffman is heading to the Hall of Fame. It’s a wonderful occasion, and it calls for celebration. I’m glad the good people here at the Kept […]
This week the guys sit down with SD Radio veterans Dave Palet and Jeff Dotseth from the Dave and Jeff Show. They talk about the big Trevor Hoffman to the Hall of Fame news and what it means for the Padres fan base. Then they talk about the current direction of the franchise as the […]
I know without looking that Trevor Hoffman’s single-season career high in strikeouts is 111 and that he accomplished the feat twice. It’s a neat party trick: Folks either want to talk to you more or get the hell away from you. Stats are fun, occasionally meaningful. I’ve studied baseball numbers probably longer and more deeply […]
The timing is perfect. Trevor Hoffman is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. A powerful flood of memories and emotions has overwhelmed the San Diego sports community. I can’t even think of Trevor without hearing AC/DC in the jukebox of my mind. Crazy to think that Hells Bells didn’t even become a “thing” for Trevor […]
After three years of excruciating debate amongst Padres fans on how much the BBWAA members are biased and horrible, Trevor Hoffman was named to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2018 class.
Today is a good day. Despite what the critics think or have to say, today is one of those days you can never take away from Padres fans. It’s a day we don’t get very often and we may never get again. One of our own is in the Hall of Fame. In his sixteen […]
To this day I couldn’t recite a single quote from Trevor Hoffman. Honestly, I probably couldn’t pick out his voice if given a blind test. This is because the Trevor that lives in my mind emerges from the bullpen to ACDC’s Hells Bells, makes it to the mound, destroys three non-descript dudes, and walks away. […]
A couple of weeks ago Dan Sileo announced he would be leaving the Mighty 1090. In the following days Sileo would make it sound like he chose to leave 1090, but a spokesman from 1090 informed that his contract simply expired. Whether 1090 or Sileo decided not to renew wasn’t clarified, and neither I nor 1090 seemed […]
This week the guys get together to talk about the blistering hot stove the Padres are engaged in. Will Eric Hosmer sign? Is the Brad Hand extension a good idea? The season isn’t that far away and it’s starting to look like the Padres aren’t going to be that much different than last year. Then […]
